Am I the only one that thought they were going to be a NY rap collective and then was really disappointed to actually hear their record ?

Very poor evidence, go look at some of those links.

I'd bet you £100 that Air Supply DIDNT have a top 75 hit with that track However Cutting Crew got to Number 4 with it

Re: What is the best 80s song ever?
 
Air Supply have never had a hit with such a song. Their only (uk) Top 40 hit is "All out of Love" in Sep 1980.

As Gary says, Cutting Crew had a No.4 hit [in Sep 1986]. :)

I could say a few, but you wouldn't have a clue what they are. So I'll but out :)

But!...but!! I've got two of their songs - Total Eclipse Of The Heart and I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight and it's the same bloke singing! :confused: :erm:
